Minding Your Diet and Fitness

I've lost track of how many times I've heard or read the advice: "To lose weight and stay true to your exercise goals, keep a food andfitness journal."

Periodically, I've attempted to follow this advice.I'd buy a little notebook, tuck it into my purse, and then forget about writing down what I'd eaten.

Occasionally, I'd remember to track my food and exercise for a few days, or even a week at a time. But purse-sized notebook was never big enough to write down all the information, and I kept forgetting how many calories were in different foods.Well, I've just found a solution to all those obstacles: the DietMinder.This deceptively simple little journal actually is designed as a foodand exercise diary. You can track what you eat, drink, and accomplish in terms of physical activity each day. Have special dietary concerns,such as how much fiber and fat you consume each day? No problem. TheDietMinder is organized into areas where you can tally up the fiber,fat, calories, sodium, and other diet factors. As an oops-I-forgot-to-take-my-vitamins-today person,I especially welcomed the section for recording each day's vitaminsand supplements. And all you fitness fanatics will also delight in thearea for tracking your exercise activities, includingintensity and calories burned. There's a section in the back where you can createyour own, personalized calorie book. Called "Favorite Foods Facts," thesepages are organized for you to enter the nutritional content of yourfavorite foods. If setting new fitness and food goals is one of theresolutions that you're planning on making for the year 2000, you mightconsider using the DietMinder to help you stay on track.
